On September 23, 1962, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts opened in New York. The Avery Fisher Hall, home of the New York Philharmonic, was the first facility to be used. Others for dance and opera opened in subsequent years, and the organisation now oversees 30 performance spaces around the city.
